Post count issue

[sonyablademaster]

In my opinion none of that matters.  If you post good and are good in the community everyone will know you do not need a badge to put on display.

^This guy has it....

remove it, it bugging me now.

[Liska]

No more post badges.

[sonyablademaster]

No more post badges.

thank you

Well, it was nice being able to tell who was actually contributing to the community and who was just a "hi ponies bye ponies" member or newbie...

Ah well.  It was nice, but we'll see how this new system affects things.  Might be better, might not be.

I was wondering what happened to the post counts, thought it was a bug

Well, this allows ponies to build up their reputations more meaningfully. I'm okay with not having it anymore.

I like it being gone, causes less "Oh this guy has more posts he must be better"

for long-time members, certainly.  New members looking for somepony besides "big scary mods" to get some friendly advice from, a bit more difficult, i'd think.

Ahhhh finally, no more competition.

We always have a bunch of friendly and helpful users that frequent the introductions board.

Yeah, when I have free time I go to the introduction board and welcome new ponies.
The post count isn't what ponies on here are known for anyway. They are known for their reputation that THEY build with what they post. Because although Sonya had the most posts, almost none of those posts were in introductions or around where she could get to kow new ponies. Ponies here remember Magus for being friendly all across the boards, and remember Madness for being random all across the boards, not for how many posts they've made.

aww shucks . But it's starting to make more sense to me.

Maybe we'll have a "Faithful Student" (or something) badge not based on post counts, but instead on being a helpful member to the community given to the select few.
What do you fellows think?

if you do that, Wandering Magus has to one of the few that gets one

[snarfgsnor]

how about no? i think that would only create people with elitist intentions.
all things that can be achived through doing stuff will create som sort of competition no matter what. thats how we work, most of us. so i would say dont give them anything to fight over

I agree highly with this.
Achievements are fine, but visible badges are a no-no to me, the reasons are pretty well put above.

[McSleuthburger]

I have to agree with Snarfgsnor and Zyggy with that
people will complain either way (if that dont get it, and when other people do get it)

Up to y'all. If you want to debate on it and think more about it make a new topic in here with a poll.
Leaving it up in the air.
Either way, this forum is just for fun.

haha i would keep discussing/debate on this. thats one of the biggest things i like ^^ and yeah the forums are mostly for fun i have to agree. but putting something in there that is slightly diffrent will cause a small riot of some sort
